Criminal Defense Case Results in Harris, TX

Charge

Theft (Aggregate $2,500 to $30,000) - State Jail Felony

Location

Harris County, 208th DC

Allegations

The client was accused of aggregate theft by a former bookkeeping client, who claimed funds were diverted over several months. When we were retained, the case was in warrant status after a missed setting tied to a child’s surgery and poor communication with prior counsel. We moved quickly to address the warrant, coordinated a safe appearance, and got the case back on the docket. Our team dissected bank records, messages, and valuation summaries, challenging weak entries and inflated totals. We negotiated a result centered on restitution and rehabilitation. The court granted deferred adjudication.

Charge

Criminal Mischief

Location

Harris County, CC16

Allegations

The case arose from a heated neighbor dispute where the client was accused of breaking a window. He consistently denied causing any damage and cooperated with authorities. We obtained the police report, 911 audio, and body camera footage, then paired that with the client’s videos documenting repeated harassment and contradictions in the complainant’s account. After presenting those credibility issues and addressing any claimed damage through restitution, we made clear we were ready for trial. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 487th DC

Allegations

The state moved to revoke the client’s felony deferred after a disputed neighbor incident triggered a new case and an alleged no‑contact violation. We stepped in quickly, requested and reviewed police reports, 911 audio and bodycam, and gathered the client’s videos documenting ongoing harassment. We coordinated with probation, clarified compliance items and corrected assessment paperwork, and pressed the prosecution on credibility problems. The motion was resolved by continuing the client on deferred adjudication with adjusted terms, avoiding a felony conviction and incarceration.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 228th DC

Allegations

Our client was on misdemeanor DWI probation when a motion to revoke was filed, alleging a positive alcohol test, unapproved travel out of state, and a delay in obtaining an alcohol monitor. He was taken into custody at a probation visit with a disposition setting approaching. We moved quickly to obtain the revocation packet, confirm fines and service were complete, and show there were no new offenses. We documented device issues and miscommunication between supervision offices and that the term was nearly finished. After firm negotiations, the State reduced the allegations and the court accepted time served.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Harris County, CCL4

Allegations

Police stopped our client for driving the wrong way on a one-way street and made an arrest for a second DWI. The client declined field sobriety tests, and officers later obtained a blood sample. We dug into the timeline of the stop and the blood draw, raising a rising BAC concern and scrutinizing the lab records. We pressed those issues in negotiations while preparing to litigate if needed. The state agreed to straight probation, sparing the client jail time and allowing them to move forward under supervision.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Harris County, CC2

Allegations

Police were called after an off duty officer reported a car clipping construction barrels, and our client was arrested for a second DWI. They declined a breath test, a blood sample was taken by warrant, and it later came back high. We moved quickly to protect the license, obtained all dash and body camera footage, and dug into the blood draw paperwork and field test instructions. Early offers pushed long probation or jail. We compiled mitigation with character letters and proactive classes and kept pressing. The case closed with straight probation, no jail condition, and workable terms.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CCCL12

Allegations

The client was arrested for DWI after a traffic stop. They had been drinking earlier while taking prescribed medication and later woke up in custody with little memory of the encounter. A blood sample was taken. We obtained the state's evidence, reconstructed the contact from reports, and challenged the justification for the stop along with the handling of any field testing and blood analysis. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to reduce the case, and the matter was closed with a sentence credited as time served.

Charge

Theft - Class A or Class B Misdemeanor

Location

Harris County, CC3

Allegations

The individual was detained during airport screening on an old warrant tied to a returned check. After release on bond, we pulled the case file and confirmed it concerned a small amount from years earlier and that our client had no criminal history. We secured discovery, compiled background materials, and presented a targeted mitigation package. We challenged the strength of the stale complaint and pressed the prosecutor for a just outcome. The state agreed and dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault by Offensive or Provocative Contact (Class C)

Location

Harris County, City of Houston Municipal \u200bCourts - Courtroom 3

Allegations

After a brief bump in a public restroom was reported as offensive contact, the client received a Class C assault citation. We got involved early, entered a not guilty plea, and set the matter for a jury trial to force full discovery. We obtained the police reports and requested any video, confirming there was no footage from the location and no independent witnesses. The complaining party's account and later behavior undermined the required elements. With a thin, uncorroborated case and a defense ready for trial, the prosecutor dismissed the charge.

Charge

Speeding (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Harris County, Precinct 4, Place 1

Allegations

Our client received a Class C speeding ticket during a traffic stop, but the officer did not state the reason for the stop at the roadside and the citation appeared to be generated after the event. We filed our appearance, obtained the patrol video and citation records, and scrutinized the radar documentation and timestamps. The paperwork showed timing irregularities between the alleged speeding, the radar check, and when the ticket was issued. We raised those inconsistencies and challenged the basis for the citation. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft (Class A or Class B Misdemeanor)

Location

Harris County, CCL2

Allegations

Our client was accused of misdemeanor theft after store personnel detained them for low-value merchandise and police filed charges. With no prior record, they were most concerned about protecting their professional future. We obtained the police report, surveillance video and witness statements, then walked the prosecutor through the evidence, the lack of aggravating factors and our client’s clean background. We made clear we were ready to litigate if needed. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Burglary of a Habitation

Location

Harris County, 184th DC

Allegations

The allegation arose from a domestic dispute at a residence that police treated as a break in. The person involved never sought charges and described it as a personal matter. We closely reviewed the offense narrative and compared it to what was relayed to our office, underscoring the lack of a cooperating complainant and the need to prove entry with criminal intent. We presented those weaknesses to the prosecution and made clear we were prepared to challenge the case in court. The state dismissed the charge.
